     2.   The Deed of Trust to Secure Assumption of even date herewith from
Maker to Rodney Tow, Trustee covering the property described in Exhibit "A".
 
     As long as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, or his successor
or assigns, is the insurer or holder of the first lien on the property described
herein, any payments due from project income under this Note shall be payable
only from surplus cash of the said project, as that term is defined in the
Regulatory Agreement of even date herewith, between the Secretary of Housing and
Urban Development and Woodlands Place Nursing Center, Inc.  The restriction on
payment imposed by this paragraph shall not excuse any default caused by the
failure of the maker to pay the indebtedness evidenced by this Note.

     Maker promises to pay to the order of Payee at the place for payment and
according to the terms of payment the principal amount plus interest at the
rates stated above.  All unpaid amounts shall be due by the final scheduled
payment date.

     On default in the payment of this note or in the performance of any
obligation in any instrument securing or collateral to it, or in the payment of
the renewed, modified and extended real estate lien note in the original
principal amount of $5,458,048.28 or any instrument securing or collateral to
such note, the unpaid principal balance and earned interest on this note shall
become immediately due at the election of Payee.  Except as herein provided,

                                                                          Page 3

 
Maker and each surety, endorser, and guarantor waiver all demands for payment,
presentations for payment, notices of intention to accelerate maturity, notices
of acceleration of maturity, protests, and notices of protest.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Payee agrees to give Maker ten (10) days prior written notice of
any default under the Note or the $5,458,048.28 Note, or any instrument securing
collateral to either of such notes, (during which ten (10) days Maker shall have
the right to cure such default), before Maker will exercise any remedy as a
result of such default.

     If this note or any instrument securing or collateral to it is given to an
attorney for collection or enforcement, or if suit is brought for collection or
enforcement, or if it is collected or enforced through probate, bankruptcy, or
other judicial proceedings, then Maker shall pay Payee all costs of collection
and enforcement, including reasonable attorney's fees and court costs, in
addition to other amounts due.  Reasonable attorney's fees shall be 10% of all
amounts due unless either party pleads otherwise.

     Interest on the debt evidenced by this note shall not exceed the maximum
amount of nonusurious interest that may be contracted for, taken, reserved,
charged, or received under law:  any interest in excess of that maximum amount
shall be credited on the principal of the debt of, of that has been paid,
refunded.  On any acceleration or required or permitted prepayment, any such
excess shall be canceled automatically as of the acceleration or prepayment or,
if already paid, credited on the principal of the debt or, if the principal of
the debt has been paid, refunded.  This provision overrides other provisions on
this and all other instruments concerning the debt.

     Each Maker is responsible for all obligations represented by this note.

     When the context requires, singular nouns and pronouns include the plural.
 
     Notwithstanding anything contained herein on the contrary, all obligations
of Maker contained herein are subject to Maker's right of offset granted under a
certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale of Assets entered into between Woodlands
Place Nursing Center, Inc. and Summit Care-Texas No. 3, Inc. as of November 6,
1993 (the "Agreement"), the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein
as if set forth verbatim herein.  In the event that any right of offset arises
such amount shall be applied to the next installment due under this note and any
excess shall be applied to subsequent installments until the amount of such
offset is totally applied.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the exercise of any right of offset in good faith by Maker shall not
constitute a default under this Note.  In the event that a right of offset
arises the amount of such offset shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent
(10%) per annum until it is applied against an installment under this Note and
until such offset is ultimately totally applied.

                              SUMMIT CARE-TEXAS NO. 3, INC.
